Hi everyboy, I have found some old maps in CartoMap .cgf format. It is multiple file based GIS format like the shapefile (there is a .cgf file for the vector data and .dbf for the attributes etc.) Has anybody worked with that format and/or with the CartoMap application? I have found some dead websites where I have read about the freeware editor software (CartoMap pro), but in 2020 all download links are dead. There is a website (https://cartovcl.com/download-files/) where you can download Delphi based source codes, etc. but no .exe installer here. My goal: - to get that application - to convert the old files to shp/dxf/whatever Anyone have any idea?:) cheers

up!

Hi People! Anyone tested the Virtual Surveyor application to compute drone (UAV) collected aerial datasets? Any idea, where can I find a krakked version? olla,

Hi everyone! I've been thinking on dowload data from online sources, like this: http://mapire.eu/hu/map/cad-pest/?zoom=8&lat=47.08813&lon=19.45902 As you can see, it ha a google map-like basemap and the data is a big ECW file. If you zoom, it extracts to the browses cache (?). Anyone have idea, how can i download it? A, tiles from the cache? B, programmed bot, which steps the camera + and create a printscreen? olla,

Hi! I've done it. I've some WMS addresses, and i'm using Global Mapper 14 to download the rasters. You can easily download too, just install Gm14, then run it, there is and option in the start display, that "download from online sources", click on it, you will find some pre define online sources, but you can setup a new WMS or any type internet sources. If you configured your wms server, you just connect to it. If you want to export (download the data and export) to a new file, with any format type, you can click on file > export > raster > select the type and other things (resolution etc.). Then OK, and you need to wait, because even if you have very fast connection, maybe the GM + your computer will compute a bit. My advice, that you need a pre created shapefile, which can be use as mask to export the big online raster to smaller sections. Just open the shapefile in the GM14 too, and select one of these sections, and in the control panel you need to click on the raster > options > cropping > crop to current selected polygon. Now you need to hide the shapefile, and you can see your cropped image. Now export as i've wrote above:) Enjoy! My advice, use ECW format. Small, very usable and the GIS programs eating it:))

HI! Some update: The Arcgis 10.1 (with or without sp1) freezing by every 20-40 minutes on my 64 windows 7, 12 gb ram core i7 machine. But with my old, windows xp 32bit laptop, it works fine. Why? The second thing: i've just bored to start again arcmap after freezing, and i've used the googli to see, anyone have that thing too: The answer: yes! Many people cryin to the esri, to make something: http://forums.arcgis...hing-frequently after some reading, scrolling, i've found that on that site: "...We seem to have solved our crashing problem. On Friday, Esri Canada tech support walked me through (1) repairing my installation, and (2) resetting my profile. I have not had a crash since. My colleague did the same yesterday, and he has not had a crash since. You may want to contact your own Esri tech support for full instructions for doing this, particularly as one step involves messing with your Windows Registry. I do not claim to be any kind of expert in this, so use the steps outlined below with caution, and only if you know what you're doing. REPAIR ARCGIS 10.1 INSTALLATION - close all applications - go to Add/Remove Programs - go to ArcGIS 10.1 Desktop, select Change/Remove - select Repair - wait for completion - do NOT start ArcMap when done RESET USER PROFILE - ensure ArcMap NOT open - go to C:\Documents and Settings\snorth\Application Data\ESRI\ - rename this folder (e.g., to ESRI_old) - go to System Registry (via Start - Run - regedit) - go to HKEY CURRENT USER - Software - ESRI; rename ESRI (e.g., to ESRI_old) So far, this has worked for the two problem installations in my office. sarah..." That Sarah made that above, and worked fine for some days. And freezed again. I've just made that, and after 5 minutes of working, tha ArcMap speed is like the new installed version. Very fast clicking, opening, etc. I hope, i can help you a bit! oioi Update: i've worked wiith arcmap, and freezing after 40 minutes....i've tested ctrl+alt+del > running processes > arcmap > high priority instead normal...waited about 1-2 minutes, arcmap gone back from freez, saved all edits and restart application...I think the 9.3.1 was more usable, 10.1 is a crap...

hmm, my arcgis running with a simple license manager, no fix or other 3rd party program. I'm using only the standard 10.1, because the 10.1 sp1 can't open ecw, dropping error message "invalid raster datset etc." By the georeferencing, if i zomm in, zoom out for a bunch of times, the program sloowing down, after 20 minutes sometimes crashes. If not, only sloowing down to the hell... The main problem, that i'm using around 1000-10000 gcps, and the arcmap 10.1 labels all gcps, which sloowing down the computer. Like i wrote before, i have a strong machine, 4 core, 12 gb ram, and that crap freezing, sloowing with 300-400 mb ram...?? why we need a good computer in 2013, if that newest arcgis can't use multiple cpu, more ram, have memory holes.... oioi

Hi all! I'm a bit unhappy....That cr@p ArcMap freezing in every 20-40 minutes. By georeferencing, by editing, by digititizing, by every processes it's freezing, soemtimes not only freezing, it drops an error message window "Send error report to esri bla bla". My computer is very stable, can't freez, work in every situation. 12 gb ram, i7 cpu, very kool machine. That cr@p arcmap uses only 250-500 mb ram, so i dunno what is the problem? It's only arcmap 10.1, without any updates. Any idea? Anyone, who have this freezing thing too? I hate that, because if i work for 15 minutes, and think "i will save my edit after this curve, or i will georeference just this last picture" and that ******* arcmap freezes..........%5"+% so?

update: i forgot, that i'm using norton ghost. if the system speed is under the "mirrored" 100%, for example after many program installation, many surfing it can be 60-70 % ! So, the upper question is a bit complex: the windows can kill itself, and the user can make it faster:) The GIS program, parallel with this progress, will be slooower and slower.... By global mapper, i dont see any sloowing, but the ArcGis (OrkGis)- i think - is very system speed sensible. I installed arcgis 10.1 sp1, and after the installation, arcgis can't open ecw files (omg!). Dropping a window "invalid raster dataset..". Anyone have solution? cheers

Hi everyone! I hope, this topic will be a good place in this General Topic. So: i have a new notebook, i think its kool, i7 cpu, 12 gb ram, 1 tb hdd (old sata3 not ssd). Thought, the ArcGis 10.1 + windows 7 64 will be fine..but not. The main problem is by opening and using many rasters. The ecw file zoom in-out is pretty kool, but the jpg, png, other raster slooowing down the system. Not only the gis program, it's sloowing the main system too. The arcgis uses only 300-600 mb ram, and few cpu, so how can it slow down the pc? My main question is: have anyone had this problem too? cheers

Hi all! I've just wanted to open some digital globe premium content in global mapper, and wanted to export to raster because the zooming so slooow. The premium content is free, if you choose the watermarked option. If i want to export, global mapper says "the watermarked premium content copyrighted etc etc". I think the watermaked image is a "watermarked". Why we can't save that?...blahhh So, any idea, how an we break it, crack it, for save that images? The h@kker team, wo helped us, to use the global mapper, can give a fix for that? olla

Hi! I've just found a solution for a small (sometimes big) problem. I've created a big Ecw dataset. The size was many gigabyte, and the working time was around a half day. And i've wanted open the file in arcgis > dropped an error "Invalid raster dataset". Many times i restarted the the progress, created a new file. Okay, shortly the solution: don't use any chars, only numbers and characters from english alphabet. I used é, á, ú, ű chars, and when i've changed it to e, a, u, the Arcgis opened the file... I hope this will help for anyone:) olla

hem, you are wizard...thx a lot, it works fine by me too! Something is wrong with meh, i don't understand the .net coding...vba was a bit simple... Next day i will test it and maybe a bit change something, to format the output coord style (integer x y instead single/long formatted coords) but, again, thx mate! I hope it helps other guys too! olla

hi! i've tested the code but can't work... in visual studio2010 made a button, insterted a code snippet > get map coordinate from screen, and made a modusedown event, with that code above...but many errors, can't build... But i've found that > http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/21220-add-in-button-mouse-down-capture Here is an example, to make a tool instead a button. The tool runs the code after clicking on the screen. I've copied, and wanted to test, but this code runs silent, so i need to drop a msgbox with the x,y coord (to see the coord result) + put it on the clipboard any idea?

yousef thx a lot:)

yeah man:) still working by meh too... A second question > i want to make my old tool, with .net (before i made with vba in 9.3.1 arcgis), i want to click, popup a window with the map coord (x,y in integer form) and copy to the clipboard. for the coordinates i've found this snippet: Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.Display Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto Public Class koord #Region "Get Map Coordinates from Screen Coordinates" '''<summary>Obtain the real world (map) coordinates from the device (screen) coordinates.</summary> ''' '''<param name="screenPoint">An IPoint interface that contains the X,Y values from the device (screen) in your Windows application.</param> '''<param name="activeView">An IActiveView interface</param> ''' '''<returns>An IPoint interface containing the real world (map) coordinates is returned.</returns> ''' '''<remarks></remarks> Public Function GetMapCoordinatesFromScreenCoordinates(ByVal screenPoint As IPoint, ByVal activeView As IActiveView) As IPoint If screenPoint Is Nothing OrElse screenPoint.IsEmpty OrElse activeView Is Nothing Then Return Nothing End If Dim screenDisplay As IScreenDisplay = activeView.ScreenDisplay Dim displayTransformation As IDisplayTransformation = screenDisplay.DisplayTransformation Return displayTransformation.ToMapPoint(CInt(screenPoint.X), CInt(screenPoint.Y)) End Function #End Region i made a mousedown method, and i want to invoke the function: Public Sub coord_copy_MouseDown() Dim xcoord As String Dim ycoord As String xcoord = GetMapCoordinatesFromScreenCoordinates(????arguments) ycoord = GetMapCoordinatesFromScreenCoordinates(????arguments) 'and this is a sketch msgbox xcoord,ycoord put_it:on:clipboard(xcoord,ycoord) End Sub any idea? Sry i don't know where i need to search "how to invoke" an arcgis function...

Hi! I've started to make a button tool for ArcGis 10.1. I've installed VS2010, ArcGis 10.1 and SDK 10.1. I've made a button, build, but it doesn't work in ArcGIs. The Esri amin site off, i can't ask anyone. My goal is to click ont he button and load a layer from specified path. The code snippet (two versions) are from the ESRI developer site, but there is a problem: If i make a button, the buttons code is that: Protected Overrides Sub onclick() End Sub and the code snippet is that: Public Sub AddLayerToActiveView(ByVal activeView As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IActiveView, ByVal layerPathFile As System.String) If activeView Is Nothing OrElse layerPathFile Is Nothing OrElse (Not layerPathFile.EndsWith(".lyr")) Then Return End If ' Create a new GxLayer Dim gxLayer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Catalog.IGxLayer = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Catalog.GxLayerClass Dim gxFile As ESRI.ArcGIS.Catalog.IGxFile = CType(gxLayer, ESRI.ArcGIS.Catalog.IGxFile) 'Explicit Cast ' Set the path for where the layerfile is located on disk gxFile.Path = layerPathFile ' Test if we have a valid layer and add it to the map If Not(gxLayer.Layer Is Nothing) Then Dim map As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IMap = activeView.FocusMap map.AddLayer(gxLayer.Layer) End If End Sub I dont't know, where i need to copy the add layer snippet. Into the click event sub, or i need to make a reference in the i've modified the path of the lyr file, built the addin, installed, put the button on the screen, but the click event doesnt effect anything.... any idea?

hmm now I have 10.1 ArcGis, but if o load 1700 link froma txt file, the labaled links slowing my machine, any idea how can I enable/disable that labels?

Hi! Still have 9.3.1., and the searching for one link from the ~1600 link in the link table isn't easy....i think soon i need install the ArcGis 10, my only problem, that arcgis 10 slooow.....any info fom the 10.1, is it better, usable, massive?

Holla! I've a very big image, that i have to georeference. I've collected around 1400 GCP pairs, and i'm a bit confused. If i want to delete on of them, i need to toggle each record in the Georeferencing tool's spreadsheet. It's slowwwly. My idea, label the georef links with the number from the link spreadsheet. And if I see a bad link, just see the number of the link, scroll down in the list, and delete... I used google, checked arcgis 9.3.1, but nothing. Anyone any idea?

Hi folks! I've just started this new topic, because an other topic, what i've started before a half year, isn't caused any results. Now i've have some good info, and i want to share that here: The main problem was, that the shapefile can only store 255 char in a string type field. I have an excel sheet, and there are cells, with around 500-900 chars. I've just joined with the common method to a shapefile feature class, and i was angry, because the text strings are cut by ArcGis. I wrote many messages, forum topics, but i don't have any good idea, to solve that problem. The solution is simple (now ) - if you have an xls document, import it into Access, and by the import steps, change the field types, for the oversize cells to "memo" from the default text (255 char long) type. If you don't change it, the Access will cut the oversize text to 255 char. - Open ArcCatalog, create file geodatabase (mybe working with personal database type, i've don't tested it), import the destination shapefile, and the table from the Access database. Simple join the data with Toolbox > join field tool, and it will result a new feature class with the joined data. If you check the joined text field properties, the size will not 255, but cca. 200000000 chars. Maybe that technic works with a PGDB dataset, joined in arcmap with an outer access table, and with the join field tool. I hope, i helped you a bit. That problem was very annoying for a half year, but now the solution,i think that was soooo simple...ehhh....))

Hi! I was busy, so i don't tested the LPs with my quadrocpter-made images. Now i have a bunch of images, and installed LPS. First, that LPS is a cr*p...I made a block file, wanted to import images, but i can't select JPG type,... Thought, let's convert to ecw, and work with that. I imported the ECW files. I collected circa 15 gcp around the images. Now i have two images. I opened the frame editor, to setup camera datas. I don't understand that datas. My friend, who amde the photos, created a camera calibration file, this: --------------------- Status Report Tree Project Name: *** Project has not yet been saved *** Information from most recent processing Last Processing Attempt: Mon Apr 30 14:46:33 2012 PhotoModeler Version: 6.2.2.596 - final,trial Status: successful Processing Options Orientation: off Global Optimization: on Calibration: on (full calibration) Constraints: off Total Error Number of Processing Iterations: 3 Number of Processing Stages: 2 First Error: 8.674 Last Error: 8.656 Precisions / Standard Deviations Camera Calibration Standard Deviations Camera1: DSC-H70 [4.25] Focal Length Value: 4.285611 mm Deviation: Focal: 0.002 mm Xp - principal point x Value: 3.145539 mm Deviation: Xp: 0.001 mm Yp - principal point y Value: 2.362853 mm Deviation: Yp: 0.003 mm Fw - format width Value: 6.239422 mm Deviation: Fw: 9.5e-004 mm Fh - format height Value: 4.680214 mm K1 - radial distortion 1 Value: 3.396e-004 Deviation: K1: 5.2e-005 K2 - radial distortion 2 Value: -5.715e-006 Deviation: K2: 2.8e-006 K3 - radial distortion 3 Value: 0.000e+000 P1 - decentering distortion 1 Value: -2.132e-004 Deviation: P1: 2.5e-005 P2 - decentering distortion 2 Value: 5.369e-004 Deviation: P2: 4.0e-005 Quality Photographs Total Number: 8 Bad Photos: 0 Weak Photos: 0 OK Photos: 8 Number Oriented: 8 Number with inverse camera flags set: 0 Cameras Camera1: DSC-H70 [4.25] Calibration: yes Number of photos using camera: 8 Average Photo Point Coverage: 92% Photo Coverage Number of referenced points outside of the Camera's calibrated coverage: 0 Point Marking Residuals Overall RMS: 1.074 pixels Maximum: 4.953 pixels Point 119 on Photo 7 Minimum: 0.317 pixels Point 20 on Photo 6 Maximum RMS: 2.762 pixels Point 131 Minimum RMS: 0.188 pixels Point 19 Point Tightness Maximum: 0.0033 m Point 46 Minimum: 0.00023 m Point 19 Point Precisions Overall RMS Vector Length: 0.000467 m Maximum Vector Length: 0.000748 m Point 13 Minimum Vector Length: 0.000414 m Point 72 Maximum X: 0.000272 m Maximum Y: 0.000353 m Maximum Z: 0.000611 m Minimum X: 0.000168 m Minimum Y: 0.000169 m Minimum Z: 0.000337 m -------------------- The quadrocopter flight height was cca. 15 m.

hi thx mate. I will make a test with it. Anyway, have you any "learn" ppt or pdf, or whatever to LPS? Me and my friend want to read it.

Hi guys! My gang working with a quadrocopter, which equipped with a simple digital camera. It makes 16 mpixel images. We wanted, to test it on an archeological site, to create ortophoto and surface model. We made photos, collected geodetical point datas. We installed the LPS, and wanted to use the photos. BUT, if i want to open the images with lps, and join to the session, i need to setup some thing, for example camera info (lense and other numbers), etc. My images are "raw" images, no croshairs are at the frame, like on the real airphotos. My question is that: have anyone any solution, to use this images with LPS? How can i calculate the camera values for the LPS? This camera is a Sony digital camera, i dont know any parameters, maybe the manufacturer share something, but i think, it isn't so simple. Waiting for replies:) :tongue: :cool:

Hi ppl! My friend sad once, he had a processed srtm data, because the forests are cutted. SRTm is a surface model, so it contains all surface objects, like building complexes, etc. The resolution isn't too big, to see each buildings, but the forests are so big, that they modifing the result SRTM data. My question is that: how can i clear a bit the srtm data, to make a better surface model?
